"We are chasing this pretty Señor Zorro, fray—this man they call the Curse of Capistrano," Gonzales said.
"And you expect to find him in this poor house?"
"Stranger things have happened. Answer me, fray! Have you heard a horseman gallop past within a short time?"
"I have not!"
"And has this Señor Zorro paid you a visit recently?"
"I do not know the man you mean."
"You have heard of him, doubtless?"
"I have heard that he seeks to aid the oppressed, that he has punished those who have committed sacrilege, and that he has whipped those brutes who have beaten Indians."
"You are bold in your words, fray!"
